There’s a way I despise that we have to say “it will hurt you in the long run” to make people give a care. Hello? Just care even if it has nothing to do with you.

Israelis overestimate the comparative value of their people. 1200 Israelis killed vs. much more than 67,000 Palestinians.
And they’ll fall, as Zionist leadership thirsts for more, complete annihilation actually.
Oh, and only Jews can experience a Holocaust.

Israeli media's distorted view of the war in Gaza

While global news showed a humanitarian disaster, most outlets in Israel remained silent.

ABOLISH ICE!

Whatever Happened to #Abolish ICE?

In 2018, #AbolishICE was everywhere. Seven years later, the agency is bigger than ever, yet the slogan’s champions are nowhere to be found.

At Least Trump Won the Ignobel Conflict Medal

While peacebuilders broker ceasefires and rebuild nations, Trump rolls in with a selfie stick, a grudge, and a fresh batch of enemies to name-check.

It really sucks Newsom vetoed the HRT and PreP access bills. The stockpile veto is going to hurt.

That said, given everything he has been saying this year, signing 8 out of 10 bills is a win for grassroots activists and the legislators filing the bills.

It shows your pressure has worked!

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 14h

CA UPDATE:

Newsom has signed these queer rights bills:
- AB 82 / SB 497 (Medical privacy)
- AB 1084 / SB 59 (Name/Gender changes)
- SB 450 (Adoption access)

And vetoed these bills:
- SB 418 (HRT stockpile)
- AB 554 (PreP)

Final total: 8 bills signed, 2 vetoed.

"For the Trump regime, the brutality is the point. It’s the means to the end of a violent, single-party state that they’re openly proclaiming, even though our media insists on turning away from it. If you think Democrats aren’t next, you’re not paying attention."

My father was in the Navy during WW II.
He was stationed in Key West, New Bern NC, and Pearl Harbor (after the bombing).
He was a civil engineer. No, he wasn’t in the Seabees.

Columbus never set foot in N. America. Not even for one minute.

The vikings settled for a short period in Eastern Canada, so maybe you can have a Ragnarök day. 😂

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 15h

Columbus wasn't on a mission to expand scientific understanding. Nor did he "find" a new world. And far from progress, Columbus brought enslavement, genocide, and mass rape. Finally, “Columbus Day” is only 88 years old, it isn't some ancient American tradition.

Closing zoos doesn’t make sense to me.
They still need workers and feed, etc for the animals.
Closing eliminates income.
